do people still use internet explorer??

Well cor blimey guv'nor.

Switch to Firefox/Opera NOW before they come and eat your soul!!

Personally I use Safari browser.

Let me tell you as a computer business owner, the average computer user's all use Internet Explorer.

It is what they learned and they don't want anything else.

Now power users and higher know better, but Joe Average Public still far and away prefer I.E.

I do not see any Internet Explorer on that page, am I looking to the wrong place?

PS: please, do not use so many emoticons, they break the flow of the page for those with smaller screens.

Nothing. There is no web browser that would have a substantial feature(s) of convenience or security that IE doesn't have.

While IE 8 is a step in the right direction from IE 7, it still isn't that great. For instance, it still doesn't do very well at the Acid 3 test, and it is still at that stage of taking a long time to patch any issues. Also, just my feeling on the matter, but a good browser shouldn't take a long time to render a blank page like IE 8 does. In Minefield I can press CTRL T and then a letter as fast as physically possible for my hands, and it will type that letter. In IE 8 I have to wait about a second before typing.

Oh, and of course, it isn't Free.

I have downloaded and installed Internet Explorer. I do like it. However, I use the Google chrome web browser.

Google chrome engineers chose to use the framework used by apple to build the safari browser. And the best thing about safari and chrome is that they are super fast.

Firefox is much more stable then Internet Explorer. It is also a lot faster in regards to bowser download speeds. Also, Firefox has a lot of addon's you can add to the browser. Including GreeseMonkey addons.
